Restate your research question and ?methodological approach chosen for your proposed research study. Then, ?identify and justify which method of measurement and data collection ?best fits y

Even though social workers might  think of a compelling research question and have a desire to conduct  research, this does not mean that the research is automatically  supported by stakeholders or funded by an organization. To gain such  approval, they must submit a research proposal. Much like an outline of a  paper or a blueprint of a building design, the research proposal  contains the framework so that stakeholders can see the key elements and  the vision for the study.

For this Assignment, you write the first part of  your research proposal, including the introduction, problem statement,  research question, literature review, and methodological approach. You  will work on the second part of the proposal next week.  

To Prepare:

 

· Review and gather content from previous Assignments and Discussions  that includes elements of your research proposal. You should have  significant material for your problem statement, research question,  literature review, and methodological approach. 

· Revise these previous course submissions based on any feedback you have received.

· Download the Research Proposal Template and review the guidance  found within the document. Use this template for the Assignment.  

· You may wish to consult the Writing Toolbox in the left navigation  of your classroom for additional resources relevant to writing your  research proposal.

· Write an introduction and refine and connect the various sections so that they work together as a cohesive research proposal.

By Day 7

 

Compile and submit the first part of your research proposal including the following sections in 3 to 4 pages:

· Introduction (1 paragraph)

· Problem Statement (1 paragraph)

· Research Question (1 paragraph)

· Literature Review (revision of previously submitted; 2 pages)

· Methodological Approach  (2–3 paragraphs)

Make sure to use the provided template and include appropriate APA citations and a reference list.

This article explained the significant impairments produced by the disorder of ADHD and how it effects adults in everyday life. This article will help the reader get a full understanding of the origin of ADHD and when it was first clinically practices in 1902 amongst 43 children at Royal College of Physicians. This article overviews many different studies which prove that this disorder exist in adulthood beyond developmental years.

This article explains characteristics of the neurodevelopmental disorder. It breaks down how symptoms cannot be noticed in childhood but are more prevalent in adulthood due to higher environmental demands, possibility of not properly being assess, or failure to come to clinical attention at an earlier age.

This article follows a sample size of 805 adults seek outpatient psychiatric care completing a self-reporting assessment. This article is important to my research as it provides a variety of information on co-occurring disorders that are paired with ADHD, which may have overshadows ones ability to be assessed for ADHD at an earlier age.

Negative Impacts of ADHD on Adults

Introduction

ADHD is a lifelong disorder that affects millions of people. It’s also common in adults, and can have a negative impact on adult life in many different ways. Here are some ways ADHD affects adults:

Work Issues

ADHD is a disability that can be protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This means that you may have the right to request reasonable accommodations from your employer. These include:

Working at a location other than where others are working

Having breaks in between shifts or shifts at different times of day or night

If you think your ADHD is affecting your ability to do well at work, talk with HR first; they might be able to recommend an employee assistance program such as Employee Assistance Professionals (EAPs) or Human Resources departments. You may also want to see if there are other types of jobs available within the company so that if one position doesn’t work out then another one will!

School Issues

Many adults with ADHD find that their school experience has been negatively impacted by the disorder. The following are common issues:

ADHD is often associated with poor classroom performance and a lack of attention to detail. This can cause teachers to become frustrated, leading them to be less patient and understanding of your challenges as an adult who has ADHD.

Adult students with ADHD often struggle academically in school because they have difficulty completing tasks on time or staying focused in class for long periods of time (especially if they have difficulty remembering what was just said). They also may experience difficulties maintaining relationships with peers due to their tendency toward impulsivity—and that can lead directly back into the classroom where there will be more inappropriate behavior problems among other students if left unchecked!

Relationship Issues

Relationship issues are among the most common problems associated with ADHD. It can be difficult for people to maintain a relationship because of their inability to focus on one thing for long periods of time, and many couples have difficulty communicating effectively when they have ADHD. This makes it even more challenging for them to understand each other’s thoughts, feelings and needs.

ADHD can also cause problems in relationships if there is no support system in place that helps both partners cope with the disorder (or at least one partner who understands how it affects their relationship).

ADHD can have a negative impact on adult life in many different ways.

ADHD can have a negative impact on adult life in many different ways.

Relationships: Adults with ADHD are more likely to be rejected by friends, family members and colleagues than those without the disorder. This is because of their tendency to act impulsively (without thinking about the consequences). They also tend to be less reliable partners or spouses who are often late for appointments or do not follow through on promises made verbally or in writing.

Work: Adults with ADHD may have difficulty concentrating or doing tasks at work due to attention issues that make working long hours difficult if not impossible for them – which means they’ll often miss out on promotions and opportunities to advance professionally as well as having problems keeping up with trends in technology that affect how jobs are done today versus decades ago when those same tasks were done differently anyway! In addition…

Conclusion

We know that ADHD can have a negative impact on adult life in many different ways. But it’s important for adults who live with the condition to know that they aren’t alone and that there are resources available to help them deal with their symptoms.
